That fixed it, even though the values were "^[[1~": beginning-of-line "^[[4~": end-of-line and I had to add in the 2nd ", and descriptions. Here are the installed packages: # dpkg -l > dpkg.installed # grep bash dpkg.installed ii bash 2.05a-3 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii bash-doc 2.05a-3 Documentation and examples for the # grep readline dpkg.installed ii libreadline4 4.2a-3 GNU readline and history libraries > $if term=xterm Why isn't it $TERM?
